A little shameless self-promotion in the service of an important message about Stanislaw Burzynski

Weekends seem to be the time for shameless self-promotion. At least, some weekends are. So, in that tradition, I can’t help but blowing my own horn a bit and urging my readers to head on over to listen to The Skeptics’ Guide to the Universe, Episode #455, March 29, 2014. There, Bob Blaskiewicz and I are interviewed about Stanislaw Burzynski and what you, as supporters of science-based medicine, can do to counter the efforts of his supporters to pressure the FDA to let children with cancer receive antineoplastons, efforts that are yielding fruit.

In the meantime, for those of you in Rep. Darrell Issa’s district, note that I will be in San Diego from April 5 to 9 attending the American Association for Cancer Research Meeting. If there are any skeptics in the San Diego area who would like advice on getting this message to Rep. Issa and/or having a meetup, drop me a line at my e-mail address on our contact page.

Yikes! Immediately after I signed Bob’s petition, Change.org offered me another petition to consider signing. It’s from Janusz and Mira Nowosad, who are petitioning the Canadian Minister of Health to override Health Canada’s refusal authorize antineoplaston therapy for their daughter.

Exactly what you need more of: shameless self promotion. So much for doing good. Let’s just print more self aggrandizing put downs. You can’t take it, doc, but you sure love to dish it out. The mark of an egotist and not a scientist.
